Summary
-
1.
The stable radicals from 40 antioxidants (substituted phenols and aromatic amines) were obtained by oxidation. The EPR spectra of these radicals were investigated.
-
2.
These radicals can remove hydrogen from solvents. The kinetics of this reaction were studied at various temperatures. In this way these radicals can serve as a medium for the investigation of the reactivity of various bonds.
-
3.
The absorption spectra of some of the antioxidants and their radicals were taken in the ultraviolet and infrared regions.
-
4.
The radicals obtained by the oxidation of ionol were separated and identified by paper chromatography.
-
5.
A classification of stable radicals is suggested.
